Trump: My ads are probably a waste

Donald Trump may be spending at least $2 million on ads per week, but as far as the he is concerned, that's probably a waste. Even so, the Republican presidential candidate played up expectations for his performance in the first caucus state of Iowa.

"What do people not know about you that they need to see in the ad?" CBS' John Dickerson asked the Manhattan businessman at his Mar-a-Lago estate in an interview aired Sunday on "Face the Nation."

"Honestly, I don't know. I think I'm probably wasting the money," he explained. "But I'm $35 million under budget. Look, I was going to have 35 or 40 million spent by now. I haven't spent anything. I almost feel guilty. I think if you want to know the truth, I'm doing the ads. I'm leading by, as you all say, a lot." Trump continued, remarking, "So what I'm going to do is I'm going to spend a little money. I want to be certain. I want to be sure."

Trump’s ads will stifle the impact of the wannabbees ads. MEDIA will keep the reporting more fair if he’s adding to their revenue. And, it’ll be like his rallies. Trump’s ads will suck all of the oxygen and no one will even notice the others.

It’s interesting to note that trump states that he is $35 Million under budget.

Didn’t Cruz recently just get his total monies into the $30’sM?

So, if Trump is under budget by a number near to what Cruz has in total monies, these ads are going to be great to watch.

I wonder if The Stump for Trump Girls are going to be part of that?

His first radio ads were great and these will be as well. Trump’s opponents are all talk and no action. They have no experience creating jobs or making deals. They will never make our country great again.

“I can’t wait to get this year of obuma over with.....” I couldn’t agreed more...I am so looking forward to NOT HAVING TO SEE OBAMA’S FACE AND HEAR HIS HORRIBLE VOICE EACH AND EVERY DAY! However, I fear he will be like the Clintons and Carter, they never really go away and try to insert themselves into the news at every chance they get.
